Labor Union Response to Diversity in Canada and the United States
Labor Union Response to Diversity Labor Union Response to Diversity in Canada and the United States GERALD HUNT and DAVID RAYSIDE* Canadian and American research finds that organized labor’s engagement with race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation until recently has been largely exclusionist. The Canadian labor movement emerges as having been somewhat more responsive to equity issues, particularly gender and sexual orientation, and at an earlier stage than its U.S. counterpart. The American movement, however, did create limited room for African-American issues and unionization from early this century and now shows signs of broader engagement with diversity issues in general. The literature is strong in case studies pointing to exceptional situations involving minority militancy and union acceptance and in highlight- ing the role of activists inside and external to the labor movement. It suffers from a lack of large-scale analysis and comparison. Has organized labor been an ally or a foe for women and minority groups seeking equal opportunities and equitable treatment in the labor force and workplace? There is now a substantial body of literature focused on this question, and recent changes in union response to issues of diversity call out for a summary and assessment of this literature. This article considers scholarship on race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orien- tation in Canada and the United States.1 *The authors’ affiliations are, respectively, the School of Business and Economics, Nipissing Univer- sity, and the Department of Political Science, University of Toronto. This review benefited from the research assistance of Karen Murray, Ph.D. student at the University of British Columbia, the statistical guidance of Laine Ruus at the University of Toronto Reference Library, and the helpful commentary of Daniel Mitchell and three anonymous reviewers.

S Labour Movement in Crisis
Canada’s Labour Movement in Crisis The Crisis in the ATU: Labour Shoots Itself in the Foot By Prof. Sam Gindin and Herman Rosenfeld Region: Canada Global Research, March 15, 2017 Theme: Police State & Civil Rights, Poverty Socialist Project & Social Inequality A sign of the tragic disarray of the Canadian labour movement is the extent to which its misadventures keep piling up. As the turmoil within the union representing the Ontario government’s unionized employees (Ontario Public Service Employees Union – OPSEU) hits the press, the chaos continues in Local 113 of the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU). The 10,500 members in that local – over a third of the ATU’s Canadian membership – operate and maintain Toronto’s transit system, North America’s third largest public transit system, behind only New York and Mexico City. As with OPSEU, the acrimonious story is not about a tough strike or a response to an anti-union government. Rather, at a time when the union should be leading the charge to address popular frustrations with the failures in the city’s transit system, the local is preoccupied with a messy internal battle. Members of ATU Local 113 who work for Veolia Tansport on strike, October 2011 to Januay 2012. Local 113 President Bob Kinnear had attempted to break away from its American-based parent and, in what was quickly apparent, to join Unifor, Canada’s largest private sector union. For the time being he has clearly failed. The tale is mired in territorial conﬂicts over the members involved, legacies of personal nastiness among Canadian union leaders, whispers of conspiracy on the part of Unifor and the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), of national ﬂag waving and charges of U.S.

With the release of the new models, a substantial rise in customer demand was expected. As a result, the plant was tasked with improving daily production rate from 930 to 969 units to meet this increase. Steve Lin, a member of Chrysler’s simulation team, utilized SIMUL8’s powerful simulation software to study the line speed at Trim Chassis Final (TCF) and assess potential changes to increase the number of units produced each day. Chrysler Case Study Using SIMUL8, Chrysler achieved: Increased revenue by $1m per Increased manufacturing Met increased customer day without increasing costs throughput by 39 units per day demand for a new range of models How did Chrysler use simulation to increase throughput?

Lancia Aurelia B20, GT ser.3 1953. Ett omfattande renoveringsarbete vidtar av nye ägaren. Klubbens Grand Old Lady, redaktörens egen mor Ulla Nylén tillika hustru till Lanciaklubbens grundare Olle Nylén, har avlidit lugnt och stilla i den respektabla åldern av näst intill 100 år. Med hennes stora intresse för sin blomstrande trädgård och tillvaratagande av fruktskördarna, fick ingenjören Olle fritt spelrum i garaget med sina Lanciabilar till glädje och nytta för många klubbmedlemmar alltsedan 1953. Innehåll i detta nummer bl.a. : Sid. 3, Klubbpresentation Sid. 4 Ordföranden har ordet Sid. 5 -8 Ekebyträffen 24 aug -14 Sid. 9-10 Höstträff i Hölö 6 sept -14 Sid. 11 Sekreterarens betraktelser Sid. 12-13 Lite Fordonslära Sid. 14-17 Tysk Höstträff 9-12 okt -14 Sid. 18-21 Don Alfonso & Mr Per till Padova 18 okt – 1 nov. -14 Sid. 22-24 Fulvia Sport, en provtur i Mariefred Sid. 25-28 SAAB i Lanciafamiljen Sid. 29 En historisk historia Sid. 30 Hänt & Hört sen sist Sid. 31 Enricas äppelkaka Sid. 32-33 Kommande träffar Sid. 34-35 Salutorg och annons Autoexperten En av de vanligaste anledningarna till att de äldre Lanciabilarna inte går så bra som önskas, är att bensinfiltret i bensintanken är kraftigt igensatt av ”tidens tand”. Gammal bensin med kondensvatten i, har bildat en tjock ogenomtränglig beläggning. Endast ett litet fräthål kvar för flödet. Så här kan det se ut ! Men nya finns att tillgå hos To SVENSKA LANCIAKLUBBEN GRUNDAD 1953. Klubbens syfte är att samla intresserade Lanciaägare och personer med genuint intresse av dessa bilar för att under trivsamma former: • Öka medlemmarnas insikt i allt som berör Lanciabilarnas teknik, egenskaper, skötsel och historia samt bistå vid problem.
